I was being treated for my allergies brought about by a dental trauma since I was a victim of dental malpractice in Cebu. I had to go to Manila for a total dental rehab which took 11 months to be exact. I developed urticaria and dermographism after my dental trauma. My anxiety level became so high such that I started developing allergies. I had visited 3 good allergists, 2 in Cebu and 1 in Manila. I had been prescribed different medications for a long duration of time and after taking each medications, say for a month, all my allergies start coming back. It became a cycle under all the 3 allergists that I went to. During my dental rehab treatment in Manila, I became desperate to look for a natural cure and with God's graces, I must say, as I've been praying hard to God that I may be lead to the right doctor who can help me with my problem. I was lead to Dr. Philip Tan-Gatue.It was my very first time to go for acupuncture, though I've heard about it, but never tried. So I religiously went for acupuncture in his clinic at UP-PGH, once a week for a little over 2 months while undergoing my dental rehab which was causing me so much pain and stress. I was so thankful to God that I was totally healed from my allergies, anxiety and depression due to the stressful long duration of dental treatment I had to undergo. Dr. Philip would say that acupuncture can help prevent the breakout of allergies, meaning it can help prevent but may not totally cure the allergy, based on my own interpretation. However, in my case I was totally cured from my allergies even before I went back to Cebu after my dental rehab. I was likewise healed from all of my anxieties and depression during those times. I was so thankful to God for my total healing and to Dr. Philip! Price was good!
